In the event of inclement weather
causing school delays or cancellations, the following informational
resources are provided to parents:

Cancellations or delays will be posted on the district's and schools' web site homepage.

Cancellations or delays will be
communicated to parents/guardians via the SchoolMessenger System to
their phone number, email address, SMS Text (if opted-in) of record. Should a call or an
email not be received, please contact your child's school to update your
contact information.

Cancellations or delays will be
communicated to local radio and news services.

*** A decision to cancel or delay school openings will be made by the Superintendent no later than 6:00 a.m.
If school openings are delayed, breakfast will not be served.
Adjustments to planned lunch menus may also be made due to school
opening delays.

*** In the event school openings are delayed, all half-day 4-year old programs (both a.m. and p.m. sessions) are canceled.

*** If hazardous weather
conditions develop during the school day, a decision to close schools
early will be communicated to parents/guardians via the SchoolMessenger
system as soon as the decision is made. The same protocol as
noted above will be followed. Elementary school students served by bus
transportation will be served first. High school and middle school bus
students will be dismissed approximately 1 hour following elementary
dismissal. It is very important for parents to have a plan in place in the event school is canceled during school hours.
Bus services will be in operation. Onsite after-school care will be
canceled, so having a plan in place and having your child understand
that plan greatly reduces confusion when adjustments to the school day
are made due to inclement weather.
